Kingston is one of the popular Caribbean destinations for families
that are traveling with younger children. There are all sorts of
educational activities that will capture the attention of energetic
youngsters.
You can visit Emancipation Park, the Bob Marley Museum
and historic Port Royal. Art lovers will enjoy the National Gallery,
Mutual Gallery and Trench Town Culture Yard.

If you choose to go
on vacation with a group, you may also be able to get discounts on some
packages that are designed with children in mind. Some of the best
places to get these deals are at all inclusive hotels, such as Sandals
Resorts and Beaches. However some of these hotels are not located in the
capital of Jamaica and are found in other parts of the island, such as Ocho Rios.

If
you are staying for several days with your family, it may be possible
for you to save money by booking a two or three bedroom vacation condo
in Kingston. This will also help you to save money with a large group.
Pro Homes Ja is a good place to look for vacation rentals in Jamaica if
you are based in the UK or Europe.
